MAGTROL offers a wide range of Load-Force-Weight Transducers with optional integrated electronics or Load Monitoring Units (LMU) with B.I.T.E. functions creating an ideal measurement system which continuously checks for overloads and short circuits. Idealy for use on Safety Applications according to ECE-R10, ISO 13849-1 : CAT4 & PLe (LE 600 Series); ISO 13849-1 : CAT2 & PLd (LE 400 Series).
Magtrol Load Measuring Pins are used to measure load and force, and provide overload protection. The pins are mounted into machines in place of normal shafts and fitted with strain gauges, allowing them to produce a signal proportional to the measured load. Manufactured in Switzerland, Magtrol’s LE Series Load Measuring Pins are rugged with high resistance stainless steel and tight construction. Available in several standard ranges from 2.5 kN to 1 250 kN, their operation remains trouble-free and reliable even in electromagnetically difficult environmental conditions.
Magtrol’s Load Measuring Pins have two circular grooves and an axial bore. Inside the central bore, adjacent to the external grooves, the strain gauges are mounted in a full-bridge configuration. The positioning and orientation of the strain gauges have been optimized by means of the finite element method (FEM).
